Single Record in Form

Question

All,
I have an application which has a form where users submit accounts for review. It is working great and populates a table in my schema, but of course we need to have these accounts reviewed by my team. I am attempting to design a button that will pull a single random account that was submitted into a report/form (not sure which to use) so that my team can review them for errors and have an 'accept' or 'deny' button.
What would be the best method for designing such a review. The button would need to execute PL/SQL that would update the 'user id' column of the person clicking the button and thus "assigning the account to them" and display that single record in this report/form so that they can easily review it for approval. I have already written the SQL that will pull a random record from the table. The Accept or Reject buttons would insert a Y or N into the accepted column.
We are using Oracle 11g and Apex 3.2. I am just not the best at PL/SQL and not sure how to get such a button to launch this form.
On a separate note I have used JQuery and have seen the posts on how to create a form via JQuery but not sure how to bring in a random loan with by executing SQL.

Answer 1

Any detail form can be made into this "random form" . Say you have detailed form based on the submitted records table. Now it would have a hidden field holding the PK value. If you were to link to this page from a any other page setting this primary key field, it would automatically populate the form with the record details.
So if the button that "randomly" pulls out a record were to redirect to this page and set the PK field with some value, it would be fetched and can be processed.
Suppose you don't set the PK field, but rather add an "onload before-header" PLSQL process in the same that fetches a random PK value(among submitted records) and set the PK feild automatically. Any redirection to the form would then pick up and show a random record.
That process could be as simple as
BEGIN
  SELECT <PK column> INTO :<page PK Item>
  FROM ( SELECT <PK column>
               FROM <table>
               WHERE <filter critera>
               ORDER BY  dbms_random.value
  WHERE rownum=1;
END;So just a create a normal detailed edit form and add this process to the onload(make sure it runs first).
Change the button to redirect to this page.
